The Atlanta Hawks were at home on Wednesday evening to take on the surging Utah Jazz. They continued to surge, as the Hawks were defeated 125-119.
The Jazz have been a surprise to many this season as the expectation was they were headed toward a rebuild. The Hawks are coming off a big win against the Milwaukee Bucks without Trae Young, as the second unit came through in the second half to seal the game.
The Hawks came out with a steady flow of offense midway through the first quarter, and the Jazz did the same. The Hawks then started missing a few shots on the inside, and the Jazz capitalized knocking down a few threes to take 20-11 lead.
